Thank you for shining a light on local artisans and carrying their products in your store. I so appreciated you highlighting my macrame and baskets over the past few years!
Best wishes for a wonderful retirement — you will be missed 💕🥂

BARRYPATCH ANNOUNCEMENT!

Barrypatch has been a beloved treasure trove for thousands and thousands of shoppers, and for Barb Anderson and myself, it has been an absolute delight helping you find that perfect gift or piece of decor for your home.

However, I have made the decision to close later this spring. Barrypatch has been an integral part of Chatham’s downtown core for more than 30 years and I am sad to see it close, but it is simply the right time for me to do this.

So-let’s look at the bright side of this!
Closing means sales and I have decided to open for three days later this week! We will be open from 10-4 on Thursday, January 8th, Friday, January 9th and Saturday, January 10th and everything in the store will be on sale! 50% off everything Christmas and fall. 25% off everything else in the store!

Get your gift certificates out and use them soon before all the good stuff is gone! This is a three day sale only. We will reopen again later in January…please stay tuned for more exciting sales from Barrypatch Boutique!

Happy New Year!
I’ve been finishing up some scarves that were started well before the holidays… The first scarf is Ode Alpaca in Blossom and cream (extended zigzag pattern). The second scarf is a huck pattern in natural Tencel. The third scarf is a variation of log cabin pattern in turquoise, seafoam, and cream Ode alpaca. The alpaca scarves are very soft and squishy!
